ENERGY STAR Labeled Building Profile

Owned and managed by Hines, 12100 Wilshire is a 19-story, 350,000-square-foot office building in the West Los Angeles submarket of Brentwood. Designed by Tracy Price Associates and completed in 1985, 12100 Wilshire is clad in bands of reflective glass and dark-gray granite; it offers tenants ocean views beginning on the second floor, and a stepped ziggurat-style roofline incorporates outdoor balconies on the top two floors. The building also includes a striking interior atrium lobby and ample subterranean parking.

12100 Wilshire earned the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance as a result of active energy management practices and a series of renovations prioritizing reduced energy consumption. On the HVAC side, 12100 Wilshire has been fitted with variable frequency drives (VFDs) on supply air fans and cooling tower motors, helping them to run at levels that correspond closely to actual demand. In addition, HVAC scheduling has been optimized, with programmed reset, warm-up, and outside-air economizer schedules set for the most efficient possible performance. Building lighting has also been retrofitted (to 25-watt fluorescent lamps with high-efficiency ballasts), and motion sensors are employed throughout, helping to ensure that lights are turned off when spaces are unoccupied. Parking garage lighting was also retrofitted, replacing high-pressure sodium fixtures with fluorescent lighting.

Hines has been recognized with multiple ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence and Partner of the Year awards. For a summary of the firm's participation in the ENERGY STAR program and other sustainability information, visit www.hines.com/sustainability.
